Abstract CD147 is a transmembrane protein that can induce the expression and activity of matrix metalloproteinases
(MMPs). Expression of CD147 has been shown to potentiate cell migration, invasion, and metastasis of
cancer. In this study, the critical role of CD147 in metastasis was elucidated using CD147-overexpressing
cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cells in vitro and in vivo. The molecular mechanism, demonstrated herein, supported the hypothesis that metastasis increased in CD147-overexpressing cells. Five CD147-overexpressing
clones (Ex-CD147) were established from a low CD147-expressing CCA cell line, KKU-055, using lentivirus containing pReceiver-Lenti-CD147. The metastatic capability was determined using the tail vein injection… More >
